Judge Denies HOA Request To Set Limitations For Protesters

Casey Anthony was released from the Orange County Jail after posting bond for check fraud charges.

Her arrival home Tuesday at about 1:20 p.m. was smooth until the pickup truck Anthony was traveling in was too long to allow for the garage door to close behind it. The past two times Anthony has bonded out of jail and made the trip home, the vehicle has slipped inside the garage, leaving members of the media, protesters and supporters without a clear sight of the young mother getting out of the car.

Reporters and onlookers approached the vehicle, only to be shooed back by hired security guards.

Eventually, Anthony was escorted from the car to the house.

Anthony turned herself in on charges of petty theft, forgery and criminal use of personal identification on Monday. The charges are again connected to Anthony allegedly stealing from her friend.

Anthony's bond of $1,250 was quickly posted by McDonald Bail Bonds. Citing confidentiality, the company did not reveal who put up the money for her bail.

The judge also ordered Anthony Tuesday to have no contact with the victim, Amy Huizenga.

Orange County investigators said they are not using check fraud charges to put pressure on Anthony to tell them if she knows anything about her daughter Caylee's whereabouts.

"We're not the ones that are writing bad checks and falsifying ID. She did that," Carlos Padilla of the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.

After Anthony?s appearance on Tuesday, Baez made a statement to the media criticizing the state attorney?s office and the Orange County Sheriff?s Office for continuing to re-arrest his client.

Baez called the repeated charges "nothing more than police intimidation."

Meanwhile, a judge has denied a request made by the Homeowner's Association of the Anthonys' East Orange County neighborhood to set limitations for protesters and supporters outside the home.

The injunction called for protesters and supporters to voice their opinions about the case from a vacant lot down the street.

DCF Sends Fair Warning To Anthony Protesters

A confrontation Monday caught the eye of viewers and Department of Children and Families officials after a boy got his arm squashed in the door while Cindy Anthony, grandmother of missing toddler Caylee Anthony, and a protester screamed at each other.

The incident actually prompted an investigation by DCF and it warned Monday protesters could find themselves under investigation.

DCF said it believes it's a parents' primary responsibility to keep their kids safe and with fistfights and foul language sometimes surfacing here DCF said it's really not a place for children.

There were harsh words between Cindy Anthony and a protester with her 9-year-old son at her side and even the child got in on the shouting match.

"Take your mom," Cindy Anthony said.

"Shut up," the 9-year-old said.

As the women continue the heated exchange, the boys arm got slammed in a car door. He rolled on the ground apparently in pain.

"My arm," the boy said.

People said they were shocked by what they saw and so reported the mom to DCF through the child abuse hotline.

"Concern has just grown and grown and grown and I think what we saw this weekend is the public said enough," Carrie Hoeppner of DCF said.

DCF launched an investigation and determined the child is OK.

"Now that we have the validation he doesn't have any injuries, we'll work with them," Hoeppner said.

The mother didn't want to go on camera, but the 9-year-old's father defended taking the child out to the Anthony's to protest.

"It was an accident, you know, my other son helped Tammy from going after her and he got caught in the door. He's fine. He over-reacted," the father said.

DCF said it was a troubling example of kids participating in the chaos and watching adults behave badly.
